Describe the Bug

Attempt to sign-in to the Chrome pluggin but get a "Failed to Fetch" error after entering email and password.

Steps to Reproduce

Click Chrome Extension
Enter server IP:Port (also attempted with only IP, no port specified)
either way the extension progresses to next screen. I can only assume the server was reached, but the behaviour is the same even if I put a bad IP in.
enter email and password > Failed To Fetch

Expected Behaviour

-Visual feedback to user that you have reached the server. Bad server address should be identified before login attempt.
-Indicate wether or not entering the port is required
-Provide meaningful error message to indicate the problem (server connection vs auth)

Screenshots or Additional Context

Keep up the good work, this is interesting, lots of potential! Interested to see if I can make it useful once the browser pluggin works.

Device Details

CHrome Version 132.0.6834.84, Pluggin v1.2.3

Exact Hoarder Version

0.21.0

can you try adding "http://" before the address? This is a common problem that we're planning to add validation for.

Yes, this did the trick. Indicating protocol and port requirement would be a good idea, even if it is just to pre-populate the default values

Keep in mind the other user feedback above, You should never even get to a login screen until a basic server handshake has been completed to confirm (to the user) that something is listening.

I'll keep playing around, I think this project does a lot more than I currently appreciate, keep up the good work :)
